I just wanted to mention that the gates at the south end of the property will be locked so those people coming from the south would be better off going around. I can give you the combination but it would probably be quicker going around anyway.

I also have a small folding grill I'll bring just in case. Is there any fishing close to the site? Better question would be CAN we fish the shoreline close to the site?
I'm thinking grilled fish for lunch and maybe dinner. I'm an optomist

What do you mean, "Maybe?" This is a committed bunch!
(or maybe this bunch should be committed!)

I don't know the actual legalities but whatever is legal to do you can do here. Now, there is a place not too far from the first nights camp that you can get to the water and on Saturday we'll swing by Lake Godwin (a pretty little 20 acre lake with a dock out into the lake a ways) and you are welcome to try your hand at it.

I can't tell you how successful you'll be (I haven't heard of anyone taking anything eating size out of Lake Godwin in a loooong time) but I will ask you to be careful if you fish Lake Arbuckle. I know the fishing is good there but it is also gator mating season (they are aggressive and this is when you hear about fatalities in FL) so be careful. There are LOTS of very big gators in that lake since it is about 95% undeveloped (roughly half of it is state forest and the other half is the Avon Park Air Force Range).
